New paper in @GlobalChangeBio Eastern US forests are shifting to more mesic species and the climate is expected to get drier. The two combined indicate drought will have a bigger impact in the carbon budget in the future. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

New paper alert 📝 Solar arrays create novel environments that uniquely alter plant responses. We discuss how diurnal patterns of ψL and gsw provide mechanistic insight for the microenvironmental controls of ANPP! Read more here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp…

Super excited to see more of our ecovoltaics research out!

I provide some context to the nice recent vegetation water content (via VOD) paper(s) by @YitongYao @chr_fronge @vwhumphrey and others. I am super excited to see so much use of satellite vegetation optical depth (VOD), which has really taken off recently agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

New #SpectralEcophysiology paper: “Hyperspectral signals in the soil: Plant–soil hydraulic connection and disequilibrium as mechanisms of drought tolerance and rapid recovery”, from Yangyang Song’s postdoc in my lab, w/ @Gerard_Sapes, @ProfZare, et al.: doi.org/10.1111/pce.15…

We are running our drought session again at #AGU24. Fellow fans of water and heat stress, please consider submitting! @JuliaKGreen1 @merneovine @Dendrogobbler agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

Are you thinking about #AGU24 in DC this year? Do you study plant-microbe-soil interactions? Please consider submitting to session B097!! @Carbon_Cait @RichPhillipsLab agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

📢📢 #Dryland folks attending #AGU24, please consider submitting an abstract to our session: "B059 - Intersections of Ecology, Hydrology, and Climatology in Earth’s Drylands" w/ @MPDannenberg @mallory_barnes @miriam_johnst @a_feldman24 @ecology_awesome agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

INVITED REVIEW Impact of aridity rise and arid lands expansion on carbon-storing capacity, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem services 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Drylands in the western United States are currently in the grips of a 23-year “megadrought,” and @WestVirginiaU researcher @KannenbergSteve is working to gain a better understanding of this extreme climate event. Read more about his study: bit.ly/3Ws22ge

Biocrust is so beautifully portrayed in this film project I was fortunate enough to be a part of 😍 I am so grateful for the opportunity to tell a whole new audience (outdoor recreation enthusiasts!) about how amazing #biocrust is! #scicomm youtu.be/XguYw16YsDY?si…

Today in @Nature, @WilkesCenter Director William Anderegg and his colleagues called on the trustees of @sciencetargets (SBTi) to rescind their decision allowing #carbonoffsets for business' indirect #scope3 fossil-fuel emissions. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Excited to announce our @NatRevEarthEnv review synthesizing plant responses to fewer, larger rain events across field studies, models, and satellites. We focus on plant responses and mechanisms in the context of the contrasting behavior between dry and wet ecosystems.
